WILLIAM MARLOW Born in London, William Marlow trained in his native town under the topographical and marine painter Samuel Scott and also at the St. Martin’s Lane Academy. In 1765 he visited the continent and undertook a prolonged tour of France and Italy, in the course of the trip making numerous drawings of classical ruins and the landscape, which provided the subject matter for a great many paintings produced after his return to England. Returning to London in 1768, Marlow took up residence in Leicester Fields, then a popular address for painters and in 1771, enjoying some success, was made a Fellow of the Society of Artists. In 1788 he began to exhibit at the Royal Academy and showed there regularly until 1807. Marlow painted in both oil and watercolour, and was strongly influenced by both Canaletto and Richard Wilson. His favoured subjects were British rustic landscapes, although he alternated these with the popular pictures worked up from his Italian sketches. Some of the latter were also produced as etchings, along
with several views of the Thames. It says much for his talent that Marlow was able to capture both the brilliant sunshine of the Campagna and the rather more restrained lighting demanded in depictions of British landscape and cityscape. On occasion he even married the two together, such as in a painting now in Tate Britain, Capriccio: St Paul’s and a Venetian Canal (c.1795-1797), a fantasy in which the great cathedral finds itself relocated to a Venetian city setting. Marlow also produced a number of watercolours illustrating William Chambers’ designs for buildings at Kew Gardens, which were later engraved. In 1795 a set of six of his Italian views was also published. Marlow was something of a polymath and latterly, in the late 1780s turned his hand to making scientific instruments. It is also said that he designed the great seals for the first thirteen United States of America.
Marlow’s chosen standpoint in the view of Rome shown here, looking along the Tiber towards St Peter’s, with the Castel Sant’Angelo on the right, was a popular choice for painters on the Grand Tour, also featuring in notable works by Joseph Wright of Derby and Jonathan Skelton. His view of the Bay of Naples takes a closer viewpoint than that chosen by many artists and offers an intimate portrait of one of the Grand Tour’s cultural metropolises. The central focus is the dome of Santa Maria degli Angeli at Pizzofalcone. Like Vernet before him in the 1740s, Marlow adds vignettes of fishermen drawing in their nets and a fishing boat and it is possible that Marlow might have known the French artist’s hugely successful views of the bay.
Marlow exhibited a total of 125 paintings at the Society of Artists, two at the Free Society of Artists, and 25 at the Royal Academy.

THE PROPERTY OF THE ROYAL NORTHERN AND CLYDE YACHT CLUB The Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club, created by the merger of two clubs, the Northern and the Clyde Model Yacht, traces its roots back to 1824.
In 1886 the Royal Northern’s yacht Galatea competed in the Americas Cup and the following year the vessel Thistle, from the Royal Clyde, did the same.
The royal charter granted in 1830 to the Northern is believed to have been the first received by any British yacht club, with the Clyde Model Yacht Club, inaugurated in 1856, receiving its own royal charter in 1863.
The transatlantic record was set in 1905 by Atlantic, skippered by the renowned yachtsman Charlie Barr, and this remained unbeaten for almost a hundred years.
20 HD446/2 MANNER OF PETER MONAMY AN ENGLISH FRIGATE AND A SHIP OF THE LINE GIVING A SALUTE TO THE ROYAL YACHT Oil on canvas 82cm x 135cm (32.25in x 53in) Provenance: The Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club. Donated in 1895 by the then Club Secretary, T.F. Donald
£1,500-2,500
The Royal Northern was originally based in Rothesay,
before moving to the current clubhouse in Rhu in 1937. The Royal Clyde moved from its own premises at Hunters Quay in the 1950s and was also based at Rhu when the two clubs merged in 1978 to form the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club. The Club has always maintained a strong tradition of fierce competition and success in yacht racing. When the first London Olympics
were held in 1908 the yachting medal was won by the yacht Hera of The Royal Caledonian. The Club has also always been renowned for the quality of the art on its clubhouse walls.

Richard Brydges Beechey was one of 18 children of the painter Sir William Beechey and the miniaturist Lady Beechey, and part of a celebrated dynasty of artists. Joining the Royal Navy at the age of 14, he was promoted lieutenant in 1828 and served in the Pacific, the Mediterranean and Ireland. Beechey was invalided out of front line service with the Navy in 1830 but was promoted commander in 1846 and captain in 1851, becoming a Vice-Admiral in 1879. Beechey exhibited a painting at the Royal Academy in 1832 when only 24 and subsequently showed another 18 works there up until 1877.
He also showed thirteen works at the British Institution from 1833 to 1859, and seven at the Society of British Artists in 1834 and 1835. While on an expedition surveying the Shannon in 1849 he began to explore his potential as a watercolour artist, and from that time onwards sent works to the Royal Hibernian Academy. He was made an honorary member of the RHA in 1868. Like many of his contemporaries Beechey liked to specialize in ships wrestling with stormy seas. None of his sketchbooks have been found but it seems likely that he would have made studies of the landscape
during his travels and preparatory drawings for his seascapes. From 1864, having married an Irish girl, Beechey lived in Dublin, moving in 1877 to Plymouth. He died in Southsea in 1895.

22 HD446/1 HERMANUS KOEKKOEK JNR (DUTCH 1836-1909) A DUTCH LUGGER, A FRENCH KETCH AND A MERCHANTMAN OFF THE COAST Signed and dated 1861, oil on canvas 80cm x 127cm (31.5in x 50in) Provenance: The Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club. Donated by the then club secretary T.F. Donald, 1895
£4,000-6,000
Like his brothers Willem, Joannes Hermanus Barend and Barend Hendrik, Hermanus Koekkoek was taught by his father, the marine painter Hermanus Koekkoek, of Amsterdam. Having begun his career in Amsterdam and Amstel, during the 1860s, Hermanus Jnr made regular trips to London, settling there finally in 1869. In London he opened a gallery in 1880 and started a secondary career as a successful art dealer. He
specialized in marine paintings and in particular in works by his own family, forging an international reputation for his uncle Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. In his own paintings, Hermanus Jnr also concentrated on marine subjects and river scenes in a Dutch Realist style. His characteristic paintings featured choppy seas with ships often struggling to stay afloat. While his early paintings are strikingly
Romantic in influence, from the 1880s his work displays more obvious affinities with that of the painters of the Hague school.

His highly Spanish Armada, for the colourful, flamboyant early dining room of his home, style captured the essential Kingswood in Dulwich. romance of ocean liner travel In ten panels, telling the story, in the early 20th century, from Sir Francis Drake’s game although it changed of bowls on Plymouth Hoe, to profoundly from a Brangwyn-
the return of the English fleet at Dover Castle. Shoesmith’s oil paintings recreated the classic schoolboy history image of the great sea battle, with richly coloured galleons, lively anecdote and not least wrecked Spanish ships. Each panel was 40 inches high, constrained by the dimensions of Vestey’s walls, while their width fitted the individual bays and alcoves of the dining room. In 1939, after just nine years in place, the murals were taken down when, with the outbreak of War, Kingswood became War Department offices. They were put into storage and with the coming of peace in 1945, were donated by the Vestey family to Radley College, where Lord Vestey’s son, Captain William Vestey (killed while serving with the Scots Guards, in 1944), had been educated. At Radley they hung on the walls of the College Dormitory for more than thirty years. However, when that building was altered in 1976 the paintings were again taken down and put into storage. In 1988 Radley decided with the Vestey family’s agreement, to sell the murals to fund the
purchase of works by young artists, and in 1998 the murals were sent to auction. Arguably, the two highpoints of Shoesmith’s career were the Armada series and a similar series of large decorative murals he painted in 1933 for the interiors of the Cunard White Star liner Queen Mary, which included two works for the cabin class drawing room, the monumental Flower Market and The Madonna of the Atlantic (an altarpiece, covered by a folding screen when not in use) and The Madonna of the Tall Ships for the tourist class library.

Rousseau has been described as possessing an ‘analytical eye with romantic heart,’ and is an important figure in the development of landscape painting. Finding his art education too guided by tradition, Rousseau spent an increasing amount of time working outdoors in Paris, before discovering the village of Barbizon and the nearby Fontainbleau forest, places that would become recurring subjects in his work. There he developed his own style of landscape painting, inspired by 17th century Dutch and contemporary English artists. Rejecting the prevailing calm, precise depictions, Rousseau composed wild, untamed landscapes utilising vivid lighting and loose brushwork. In particular, he painted landscapes as a subject in
their own right, untethered to mythological and historical narratives. This forwardlooking approach drew many followers out to Barbizon, which became an unofficial artists’ colony and group, the ‘Barbizon School,’ with Rousseau as a leading presence.
art establishment was cemented when a whole room of his work, including pictures previously rejected by the Salon, were displayed in the 1855 Exposition Universelle, while in 1867 he was named President of the Fine Arts Jury for that years’ Exposition Universelle.
Rousseau’s critical reputation within the art establishment wavered, despite his enduring position of respect amongst other artists. He had works accepted by the Paris Salon in the 1830s, an early recognition of his talent, but from 1836-41 he was consistently rejected, before choosing not to submit in the years 1842-49. This run earned him the nickname “le grand refusé”. Later in life, his acceptance into the French
The work offered here, ‘A Pool in the Woods’ demonstrates Rousseau’s enduring interest in lush landscapes of forest and water, and his commitment to depicting various weather conditions. His close observation allows him to create a rich and accurate representation of the spot, with his talented handling and vivid lighting adding a sense of lyricism and drama.

ADAM BRUCE THOMSON An Edinburgh native, Adam Bruce Thomson is noted for his oil and watercolour landscape paintings, particularly those that depict the Highlands and Edinburgh. Considered an Edinburgh School artist, his work is described as being vivid and often employing nonnaturalistic colour tones. Similarly to his contemporaries who attended the Edinburgh College of Art around the time of the First World War his practice is approached with a sense of confidence and virtuosity. He received Diplomas in both Drawing & Painting and Architecture before travelling through Spain, France, and Holland on scholarships. His practice extended to include
etching and lithography, as well as pastel and watercolour media. By the start of World War I he was on the staff of the Edinburgh College of Art, and in 1915 he enlisted in the Royal Engineers. His body of work reflects the development of Scottish painting in the first part of the twentieth century, changes famously instigated by the Scottish Colourists. The works shown here embody Thomson’s post-war style that includes vivid colours and a strong sense of the artist’s touch. In an almost expressionistic manner both works depict vast landscape environments, honouring a natural Scottish tradition. Thomson painted Ancient Clan Stronghold, Castle Coeffin, Isle
of Lismore in the summers of 1937 and 1938 while staying with his family at Baligrundle farm. He was greatly affected by the region, wanting to describe the awe inspired by the land and sea, coupled with the history; Castle Coffin was the fortress for Clan MacDougall, a former Lord of Lorn.

Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. Please ensure that the auctioneer repeats your bidder number correctly when confirming the sale. If there is any doubt at this stage as to the hammer price or buyer it must be brought to the auctioneer’s attention immediately. All lots will be invoiced to the name and address given on your registration form, which is non-transferable.
By phone A limited number of telephone lines are available for bidding by phone through a Lyon & Turnbull representative. Phone lines must be reserved in advance. All bid requests must be received an hour before the sale. All telephone bids must be confirmed in writing, listing the relevant lots and appropriate number to be called. We recommend that a covering bid is also left in the event that we are unable to make the call. We cannot guarantee that lines will be available, or that we will be able to call you on the day, but will endeavor to undertake such bids to the best of our abilities. This service is available entirely at our discretion and at the bidder’s risk. In writing Bid forms are available at the sale and/or the back of the catalogue. These should be submitted in person, by post, or by fax as soon as possible prior to the sale and we will bid on your behalf up to the limit indicated. In the event of receiving two identical bids the first one received will take precedence. All bids must be received an hour before the sale. This service is entirely at the bidder’s risk.
